12.1. Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be in effect for an initial term of five (5) Contract Years. This Agreement may be extended exclusively by amendment provided for in Section 5.1.1 – 5.1.2, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing.

12.2. Termination by Either Party Without Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement without cause by providing twenty-four (24) months written notice to the other Party.

12.3. Termination for Breach. Either Party may terminate this Agreement for a material breach by the other Party by giving the breaching Party written notice, specifying the breach, and giving the breaching Party three (3) months to cure such breach.

Page 25

CONFIDENTIAL

performance obligations or amounts to be paid which have accrued up to the effective date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer’s unpaid, undisputed balance extends in any event beyond ninety (90) days, BVL shall have the right to require pre-payment for all future Manufacturing until such time as Customer has established a satisfactory payment history in BVL’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Customer’s unpaid, undisputed balance extends in any event beyond one-hundred twenty (120) days, then BVL shall be entitled to: (a) terminate this Agreement without liability to Customer unless such payment default is cured in its entirety by Customer within thirty (30) days of written notice from BVL of its intent to terminate; or (b) cease production and/or service performance without liability until such default is cured.

12.4. Termination for Bankruptcy. In the event of any proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, in bankruptcy or insolvency, by or against Customer or BVL, or the appointment with or without the Parties’ consent of a receiver for either Party, the other Party shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party without any liability whatsoever. Such termination shall not affect any claim for damages available to the terminating Party or for costs or fees accrued to date.

12.5. Termination for Force Majeure. In the case of a Force Majeure event that will, or continues to, prevent performance (in whole or substantial part) of this Agreement by a Party for a period of at least six (6) months, the other Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon prior written notice to the other Party without any liability whatsoever.

12.6. Consequences of Termination.

12.6.1. In the event of termination of this Agreement, the Parties will endeavor to transition the Manufacturing services and technology transfer in such a manner as to not cause unreasonable inconvenience to either Party. Termination by BVL shall not be effective until Customer has located and arranged for continuation of Manufacture of Product with another supplier, but in no event shall such supply obligation continue for more than two (2) years after the date of termination notice of this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate during such period to continue any such ongoing services and BVL shall perform such functions reasonably necessary or required in connection with the orderly wind-down of any active project as required by the terms of this Agreement and Applicable Law.

12.6.2. Promptly upon a termination of this Agreement or at the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in its possession, except for one copy that may be retained for archive purposes.

In the event the funds received by BVL prior to such termination exceed costs incurred to the date of termination, BVL shall refund the difference to Customer within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination. In the event of a no-fault termination by BVL pursuant to Section 12.2, Customer shall not be liable under Section 5.4 for that portion of the Five-Year Forecast following the effective date of the termination.

12.6.4. Upon any termination (i) other than BVL’s breach of this Agreement; or (ii) for BVL’s breach of this Agreement and subject to the mutual agreement of the parties, Customer: (a) shall purchase from BVL any existing inventories of Product conforming to the Specification and Manufactured in accordance with cGMP and the Manufacturing Process, at the then-current price for such Product; and (b) may either: (i) purchase any Product in process held by BVL as of the date of the termination, at a price to be mutually agreed (it being understood that such price shall reflect, on a pro rata basis, work performed and non-cancelable, out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by BVL with respect to the Manufacture of such in-process Product) or (ii) reimburse BVL for all work performed and non-cancelable costs, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BVL and direct BVL to dispose of such material at Customer’s cost.

12.6.5. If Customer terminates this Agreement for any reason, Customer shall reimburse BVL for the costs of any BVL-supplied Composition that cannot be canceled, unless these materials can be utilized by BVL on other projects. This reimbursement shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt by Customer of an invoice itemizing the material costs. BVL agrees to transfer to Customer any materials for which Customer has paid under this provision. Termination shall have no effect on payment obligations that have accrued up to the effective date of termination. Furthermore, unless Customer has terminated this Agreement pursuant to Sections 12.3, 12.4, or 12.5, Customer shall pay BVL as provided in Section 5.4.

12.6.6. Upon the effective date of termination or expiration of this Agreement, and subject to 12.6.1, Customer shall have no further obligations to BVL with respect to the Forecasts and BVL will have no further obligations to Manufacture Product.

12.7. Injunctive Relief for Breach or Threatened Breach. The Parties agree that should this Agreement be breached, money damages may be inadequate to remedy such a breach. As a result, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek, and a court of competent jurisdiction may grant, specific performance and

Page 27

CONFIDENTIAL

injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Such remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies, including money damages, available to a non-breaching Party at law or in equity.

12.8. Survival. Expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not relieve either Party of any obligation accruing prior to such expiration or termination or of any rights and obligations of the Parties that by their terms survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties (Article 10), duties of confidentiality (Article 9), indemnification (Article 8), intellectual property (Article 11), governing law and jurisdiction (Article 16) and Quality Agreement (Attachment “E”) of this Agreement.
